The Democratic Senators, in their caucus last

they will take up the regular order Of business
this morning and let time shape their action.
They claim that their ranks are unbroken, and
.hatin every thing they will be supported by the
thirty-two votes of their side. Senator Smith
said to Journal reporter last night: "Since
Judge Niblack has decided that the
Senate has the absolute right to
settle this question, and that other
judges are of the opinion that Colonel Robertson
was not elected, I am going to stay in my pres

settled law of this State that all actions must be
brought in the county where the defendant re-
sides, except such as the statute expressly pro-
vides shall be brought elsewhere.
1t is assumed that this is not directly civil
action, but is special proceeding, and is not
governed by Section 3l2 of the Code, but it has
been expressly ruled that such proceeding
this is civil action. In Reynolds State, 81
Ind, 1872, the question came directly before the
court and in deciding it the court said: ut is
clear, we think, from this section of the Code,
| that information in the nature of quo war
ranto in this State is a civil action
If, however, it were conceded that the posi-
ton of the appellee is tenable. still it would by
no means result that Section 3l2 does not apply.
for it is quite well settled that the provis-
1 ions OF the Code do apply to all proceedings,
whether under special statutes or not unless
excluded by the provisions of those statutes.

informs us that there was q reason for limiting
the power of the Judiciary and purpose to be
accomplished in doing it,
A reason urged by some who desired the pow
or asserted by the courts was: That power SO
great should not be intrusted to men whose
terms o. Office were for life, as in the earlier
years of the Republic, were the terms of the
judges of the State and federal courts. 1t was
thought by many, whether Justly or not it is not
for the Judiciary to decide, that it wiser and
better to place the authority of determining in
contests respecting the right to Office in the
hands of those officers whose terms of Office
were not of great duration. Ohio, Kentucky and
other States have taken the entire power from
the courts and placed it IN special tribunals.
Our own court has recognized the general prin-
ciple that it is often best to intrust high mower
to officers whose terms are short. In Brown vs..
Buzan, "a Ind, 1874. it was said: Thus in
whatever extent this court might err in denying
the rightful authority of the law making DEPART
ment, who should claim that authority for a long
time at our feet. It is better and safer. there
fore, that the judiciary. if err it must, should
not err IN that direction. If either department
power it should be that whose official life shall
soonest end. It has the least motive to usurp
power not given. and the people can sooner re-
lieve themselves of it's mistakes This reason
inc supplies grounds for sustaining the policy of
distributing the power of settling contests for
Office, for, if that power is lodged in the Legis-
lature the people can, at short and often re-
curing intervals. rebuke where rebuke is need
| ed and approve where approval Is merited
| Another reason given in support of the policy
OF placing contests for office under the urisdic
| ton of special tribunals is thus stated bv the
| highest court of Kentucky. 1.-THE very purpose
of providing these boards was to prevent the or

Mr.. Fl. B. Gurer began dairy.
ing with twenty COWS and for years
averaged annually about l5O lbs
of butter from each COW, Then the
idea was sug gested of testing the
individuals Of his herd. On this
hint he acted, with result report
ed to the Dairy Mems Association
of Illinois:
81 found the weight of milk
ranged from Is to 40 pounds and
the per centage of cream 7 to 20
in the differe Mt COWS. [ afterward
got an idea that this test was not
sufficiently accurate, and l tested
all my COWS, TAO this time, by set
ting the milk separate, and skim
ming and churning separate. In
this test I learned that I had COWS
that would only pay for the feed
consumed and that I had others
that would pay profit of 60 dol.
lars per year, after paying for the
feed. I learned that the cow that
gave 40 pounds of milk per day
did not produce SO much butter as
the COW that gave Is pounds Of
milk, 1 learned that the butter
yield of my COWS ranged from 8 tc
20 ounces per day.
After this revelation he began
to weed out the inferior animals
and filled their places with heiferf
from his best COWS; and thus II
the course of a few years he in
creased the annual butter yield
from $50 ty 266 pounds per head
and the profit above cost of feed
from Is to As dollars per head
Ext. American Dairyman.
We clip the above from the
American Dairyman." We know
there are hundreds of COWS kept
by the farmers in this section that
do not pay for the feed they con-
sumo. The only method to test
the individual merits of each COW
to set their milk sep crate
weighing it and churn the
cream. The cost of keeping each
cow is nearly the same, while one
will make only 100 pounds butter
per year, another will make 400.
We say try these experiments in
diligently; weed out the poor
worthless COWS, breed only from
the best mixers, use bulls from
the best strains of butter COWS
Soon you will have dsiries making
from $50 to 400 pounds butter per
year, making net profit for 20 to
so dollars per cow.

tbem. If a man can get 400

them. IL man can get 400
pounds of butter from one cow in
a year, it will certainly cost less
than it would to get that amount
from two cows in the same time.
The food from which the butter is
directly derived may be the same
in both cases, though probably it
is not; but while that food is be-
ing converted into butter, we have
in one case to support the body of
one COW, and in the other the
bodies of two COWS. Then there
is the extra investment and the
extra labor of caring for two in
stead of one, all of which makes
quite an increase in the cost of
producing milk. There will be,
according to the economy used in
producing food, difference OF
twenty to forty dollars IN the cost
of the 400 pounds of butter wheth-
er derived from one COW or two,
in year-equal to five or ten
cents on each pound of butter,
enough to make all the difference
between profit and loss or profit
and no profit. If one man can
live by getting 300 pounds of but.
ter per COW in a year, another can
grow rich by getting 400 pounds
But when we come to divide
again and get but 100 or 125
pounds year per cow, which is
about the common average, the
difference In the cost will then be
three times as grsat-at the above
rate $50 to $50 or 400 pounds
twelve to eighteen cents on each
pound. This makes dairying an
uphill business on a steep grade at
that. It is the dairymen who
keep these unproductive COWS com.
plain most of hard times, and that
dairying does not pay. 1t is the
same as keeping two sheep or two
pigs for the product of one. This
is farming on the shares with
destiny.
The way out of the difficulty is
to INCREASE the product of the indi-
vidual animal-to put, as 1t were
two animals into one skin. Nc
matter what breed you have
something further is needed to
reach the best results. Good
blood lies at the bottom for g
foundation, but it is not every
thing. Feeding and general care
and management have as much te
do with increasing the product Of
individual animals as breeding OF
blood. But it must not be forgot
ten that undue forcing shortens
the life and usefulness of the COW
very rapidly.
Adopt a standard of say 4Ot
pounds as the butter product PEI
COW in year, and then work for
herd that will reach it. Find Out
which your best COWS are, weed ou
the poor ones and breed from thu
best until your herd approximate
or reaches your standard. This ii
the way to meet the hard times
and to get a profit even at low
prices, Increasing the produc
and chee.pening its cost is the on
ly door open to re lief.

To succeed in dairying, writes a
dairy man, the pastures must be
flush and long continued, and the
means of providing rich food in
winter ample and cheap. Next
and no less essential, there must
be plenty. of pure living water.
Then again, some means must be
available, where fine butter is to
be made, of holding a compare
lively low temperature. These
assured, there is certainly no
manufacture connected with the
farm that promises better returns
if discrimination has been used
in the selection of the COWS or the
establishment of the breed to be
kept.
